    Hi,

    I own a Modern Warfare 3 website (see signature) and have recently bought the domain ProjectColossul.com which is rumored the be the code name for the game, pre release. My question is, the domain has immediately ranked #5 for the keyword "Project Colossul" but I have since 302 redirected the domain to www.mw3-forum.com.

    If I want to keep ProjectColossul.com indexed in Google with its current ranking, would I be better put up a simple index page with a delayed redirect of 10 seconds before sending it to mw3-forum.com? Would that be sufficient to keep ProjectColossul.com in the index?

    Also, if I did a permanent 301 redirect, would ProjectColossul.com disappear from the engine completely?

    Thoughts appreciated!
